hi i am passing a variable into an swf using the addVariable seen below

```auto

    <script type="text/javascript">
        // <![CDATA[
        
        var so = new SWFObject("ticker.swf", "background", "293", "107", "8", "#000000");
        so.addParam("menu", "false");
        so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
        so.addVariable("percentage", "50");
        so.write("flashcontent");
        
        // ]]>
    </script>    

```

my action script is

```auto

import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

var Trotation:uint;
var percentage;

if(percentage != "" && percentage != null){
Trotation = percentage;
}

tracer.text = String(percentage);

var myTweenRotation:Tween = new Tween(ticker, "rotation", Strong.easeOut, 0, Trotation, 3, true);
var myTweenRotation2:Tween = new Tween(tickMask, "rotation", Strong.easeOut, 0, Trotation, 3.2, true);

```

i continually get undefined when i view the html page, any help would be great thanks
